Red Sox - looking like heavy favorites to repeat a deep playoff run, if not, World Series winners.

Those extra, tough innings you have to pitch through the playoff run kills your starters and doesn't allow them to rest more during the off season. It will be interesting to see how the starters hang in this year.
